Hello,
I’m john, 85 years of age, born in ERITERA; I have lived all my life here & the United Kingdom and I’m here to meet good people for good.
I’ve not been healthy in a long time, and my doctor suggests I may not sustain life for long. So I’m looking for God loving fellow, who can help touch the life of the helpless and the need, to stay in control of my legacies worth millions of dollars, deposited under the care of a security Company Here, as there would be nobody to inherit it now that I’m old enough and may soon join the dead. So I got across your page and the urge to write you came to my mind.
To tell you more about my self, my parents where of different race, my father was American, while my mother an Irish who was based in the US until married & relocated to ERITERA, to stay out of family pressure against her marriage because, my father was of different race & my mother an Irish. I was later born and my mother took me to see her family, but they made mockery of us as we visited, which made us return to ERITERA. Because of these, I never got any link to them again. But before my father died he explained everything, but warned me never to go in search of their family because of my color which they might make me regret if they get to see me.
So I moved to London where I was married with 3 kids who later died in an accident together with my wife, I suffered psychological trauma and has since then remain single.
I’ve been making arrangements on how to establish my legacy to the hand that can touch the lives of others with it, until embraced your profile and finding you interesting.
I have a short period to live and therefore cannot accomplish anything that’s why I’m contacting you. So if you are interested with my proposal, kindly get back to me with more information about you, so I can be able to proceed with you.
Regards
John Akhalin
